Every time we go to visit my mom, or his mom, we see what is on cable and say to each other, "I can't believe that we once paid for this crap!" Of course there is some good programming on cable, but it isn't worth spending all that money on the other channels to get it.

I can get just about whatever I want to see from Netflix, my antenna (with homemade dvr) and hulu. If I really need to see a series right off, I can buy it from Amazon for a lot less than one month of cable.

This is not new, as phenomenal renowned Dog Whisperer Cesar Millán, has a Dog Whisperer Institute for learning how to. He hails from Mexico, however, has a tremendous following in the USA and the Iberian Peninsula.

Does anyone know who I am speaking about ?

I also know a North American Chef who is a Cat Whispherer. It is an amazing labor.

Ciao. Have nice evening.

I watch his show daily. Cesar is a dog lover and I totally agree with all he say's and does. I admire him more than I can say as does my little grand daughter who employs his methods on her dog and has a lovable, well behaved pooch.

It is a very lucrative business since numerous people adopt abused and abandoned animals. Dog Therapists, Cat Whispherer, Horse Whispherers etc. It is a combination therapist and trainer, re-trainer and behavior specialists. César Millán has an Institute in L.A. and Spain I believe for those interested.

They make good money too, true ... Look at César Millán on TV ... He has programmes on in Los Angeles and Spain ...

If you've ever gone to his show in person--amazing. And, the leaning into the dog works--the DH's dog is very needy, very "in your face." I was bit by a dog and had to have 250+ stitches (might have been more--that is when my mom stopped counting) in my head/face (1/4 of my scalp was ripped off). So I lean into him and he backs off. I don't like animals in my face (wonder why?!) I am also allergic so I like them to be respectful of my personal space. I obviously care about animals (chickens, dogs, and cats), but I have to have boundaries because of my allergies and history.
